Today's Homeowner looks at dozens of datapoints on pest control companies to come up with our data-driven rankings. It's not possible for a company to pay for preferential treatment in our rankings. We look at the following key factors in determining who should top our list:
Today's Homeowner narrowed it down to these pest control companies by comparing pest control treatments offered, costs, customer reviews, state availability, contracts, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies ranked in Indio:
Terminix’s headquarters are in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries worldwide. It has also been in business for about 100 years. Terminix has received numerous awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix offers both one-time extermination services and seasonal pest control. Plus, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Along with pest control, Terminix provides other services, including attic insulation, moisture control, mechanical exclusion, and home disinfection services.
Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the oldest pest control companies with a large network of branches. Its exterminators complete 160 hours of training. In addition, because of its large network, it can often provide next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Pests Orkin handles includes bed bugs, centipedes, fleas, spiders, carpenter ants, ticks, flies, hornets, silverfish, yellow jackets, and more. After the first treatment, your Orkin exterminator will follow up to check that the pests haven’t returned. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners rid themselves of common pests for over 90 years. The global brand owns the North American pest control providers Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.
Rentokil deals with the common pests in Indio, including wasps, moths, bed bugs, cockroaches, flies, bees, spiders, mosquitoes, crickets, and ants. Its treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Pest control services aren't all identical when it comes to reputation, knowledge, and competence. It’s important to research providers to find the right one for your specific situation. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that primarily handles the pest you have, like rodents, roaches, bed bugs, or termites. The company should describe how they go about treating your type of pest.
The ideal exterminator will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by groups like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials demonstrate that the technicians have completed proper training. You'll also want to ask each company about regular education updates for their employees.
We highly recommend reading customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other review sites will show whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of continuing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you select an exterminator from our list of the top pest control in Indio, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more natural, eco-friendly pest control solutions, look for companies that have "green" accreditations. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or other rodents coming inside, you can also ask about humane catch and release. Keep in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective; consider a more traditional route for a more serious infestation. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control professionals usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a company will return to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments typically don't include these reservice guarantees.
Once you have determined your top exterminators, contact each one to ask these questions:
Analyze potential pest control companies using these questions. This will help you hire the best provider to safely and effectively eliminate your pest problem at a reasonable price.
There are various kinds of pests in Indio, ranging from harmless nuisances to ones that can damage your home. To give you an idea of the most widespread pests in the city, we reviewed the pests talked about in around 10 million posts on social media.
The best pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They help with all common pests, have many locations, and have been in business for decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every two or three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
To find the best pest control company for you, the key is to take time to research your options thoroughly. We recommend getting estimates from multiple companies and looking at reviews to help figure out which company is the best for you.
In a city like Indio, where the cost of living is high compared to other cities, the cost of pest control is most likely a concern. The cost of pest control varies based on several factors, including what type of pests are infesting your home and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, while a quarterly treatment plan is typically cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
Spring is the best time for preventative pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will grow much larger when it's hotter, so pest control in the spring can help prevent your property from getting too many pests later.
